Onit, it's a great mail but I did have my hesitations re the last paragraph but I figured you were due a wee bit of an 'up yours mate.'
Re my husbands friend. They've been friends for close to 60 years. He knows my husband and has my back covered. He knows if he didn't agree to do this I'd have to go to someone else and hand over my file to their housekeeper, driver, or wife, child etc. Anyone in the house really. But this way I'm still afforded the respect hecwantsxme to have. We have a cuppa and a chat and the last time I went he got out some old photos from 40 years ago and we had a lovely walk down memory lane to a time when money hadn't flown through the door and love hadn't flown out the window. My husband is nothing but a cliche. And me? Well I'm the woman who helped make a fortune. I'm not the one who set out to marry one. 😉
And why don't my children handle it for me? Well sadly there really isn't anything going on in that respect and I know if my children were given this to do for me their father would use it to blackmail them into accepting his new life. i would never ever put them in that position.
My husband is a sociopath. I know him better than he'll ever know himself. But it took breaking free to be able to see him for what he is.
